HistoryThe Northumberland Manufacturers' Association (NMA) was established in 2004 when a group of local manufacturers – including Cameco, Coveright, ESCO, GE Advanced Materials, Horizon Plastics, UniTrak, Weetabix, and Zircatec – decided to collaborate on education and skills training, share best practices, and promote high performancemanufacturing within Northumberland County.In early 2004, the NMA met with several organizations from across the county – including chambers of commerce, economic development offices, and educational institutions – to share its vision for a vibrant and sustainable manufacturing sector. The NMA was quickly recognized as a driver of innovation and productivity, as well as a catalyst for economic development, within the region.With the financial and logistical support of two important organizations – Northumberland Community Futures Development Corporation (NCFDC) and the Northumberland County Economic Development department – the NMA was able to hire a full-time Executive Director (ED). Since January 2005, the ED has worked in partnership with the Steering Committee to develop a business plan, implement a communications and marketing strategy, and recruit new members to the Association.
